Don’t have time to come to campus?
You can take classes or earn your degree online!
Our online students can choose from over 750 courses and multiple programs! NCC, as a member of the Iowa Community College Online Consortium (ICCOC), provides an extensive schedule of classes every semester.
When you take an online class, you might work with our instructors or with an instructor at another participating community college. No matter where your instructor is, you earn your college credits through Northwest Iowa Community College.
You do not have to take all of our classes online. Many of our students blend their program with some online and some on campus. Our goal is to meet your needs!
What Our Students Say
I like online learning because it allows me to work during the day and go to classes in the evening.
-- Brandy James
I would recommend NCC to anyone. From ordering books to layout of the online classes. Everything has been great. I mostly liked learning at my own pace. I needed to spend more time in some classes than others and online learning allows me to do that.
-- Stacy Weisbeck
